Example Graphics
Most of the example graphics and screen shots used throughout this Pilot’s Guide
& Reference are based on flying the ILS 16R instrument approach into Reno/Tahoe
International Airport (KRNO) in Reno, Nevada, USA. Those images with the airplane in
a right bank show the airplane completing the procedure turn in-bound to intercept
the Localizer, descending through 8,660 feet to the target altitude of 8,500 feet. The
other main group of images, showing the airplane straight and level, are earlier in the
approach, tracking outbound for the procedure turn.
Pilot Familiarity
While the EFD1000 is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with
Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI) is
required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the EFD1000 get
some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time
becoming familiar with the PFD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before flying in
actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). To reduce pilot workload, the use of
autopilot (when available) is strongly encouraged.

Welcome & Introduction
A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( ) EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide Page 1-1
CHAPTER 1, WELCOME
The center of the EFD system is the EFD1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD), which
replaces the traditional, mechanical Attitude Indicator (AI) and Directional Gyro (DG)
or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) (Figure 1-2). The PFD is available in three
models—the Pilot, Pro and ATP—each with increasing levels of features and capabilities,
and each lower model is upgradable through software to the more capable models.

CHAPTER 1, WELCOME
You can even add another MFD, replacing the Airspeed Indicator (ASI) and turn
coordinator, to round out a complete “six-pack” replacement and gain even more
capability and flexibility (Figure 1-4). When you are ready to upgrade, simply contact
an Aspen Avionics Authorized Dealer for more information.

1.1.1. EFD1000 Display Unit
Pitot & Static System Connections
The EFD1000 system unit is a digital system that consists of a high resolution 6” diagonal
color LCD display, user controls, photocell, and Micro SD data card slot. The three-inch
diameter, four-inch deep can on the back of the display contains a non-removable
electronics module which includes:
• A Sensor Board with solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System
44-pin D-Sub for Electrical Connections
(AHRS) and digital Air Data Computer (ADC).
• A Main Application Processor (MAP) board with Central Processing Unit (CPU),
graphics processor and system memory.
• An Input-Output Processor (IOP) board for integrating communications with
other aircraft systems.
Also on the rear of the unit are (Figure 1-6): Access Cover to Backup Battery
• An access cover for removing and replacing the built-in backup battery.
• Pneumatic connections to the aircraft’s pitot and static systems.
• 44-pin D-sub connector for electrical connections to the EFD1000.
• A cooling fan, to cool the electronics and LCD backlights.
The PFD mounts to the front surface of most instrument panels.

1.1.4. Analog Converter Unit (ACU)
The Analog Converter Unit (ACU), included with most Pro PFD systems, enables the
all-digital EFD1000 system to interface to analog avionics when required. The ACU
converts multiple analog interfaces to the digital ARINC 429 buses supported by the
PFD. Control parameters, such as desired heading, are also sent from the PFD to the
ACU for conversion to analog format for autopilot support. The ACU is required when
any of the following capabilities are required in a Pro PFD installation:
• Interface to supported autopilots.
• Interface to conventional VHF navigation radios.
• Interface to legacy (non-ARINC 429) GPS navigators.
• Interface to supported radar altimeter decision height annunciations.
If ARINC 429-based digital radios, such as the Garmin 400/500-series GPS/nav/comm
radios, are installed in the aircraft, and no other aircraft interfaces are desired, the ACU is
not required.y

2.2. Controls
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The primary means for the pilot to control the EFD1000 are the two knobs and three
buttons at the bottom of the display. The knobs control setting CRS and HDG, and
additional bugs and altitude settings. The three buttons control selection of navigation
sources for the CDI and bearing pointers.
Additionally, five hot keys to the right of the Navigation Display toggle various features
on and off. The function of each is indicated by the label on the screen to the left of
each button. Three additional buttons above the hot keys control entering and exiting
the Menu system, setting the Map range, and reversion or manual power control.
Each knob has an inactive Home state, to which it returns automatically after 10
seconds of inactivity. The inactive state is designed to prevent inadvertent adjustment
of a setting. The Left Knob Home state is CRS, and the Right Knob Home state is HDG. A
single push of the knob activates the Home state (CRS or HDG) for editing.
To change an available setting, repeatedly press the appropriate knob until the desired
function appears in magenta above the knob (the setting you are changing will also
appear in magenta on the display). With a little practice, you’ll soon know exactly how
many presses it takes from the Home state to get to what you want to set.
Page 2-4 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )
When the function you want to set is shown in magenta, dial the knob left or right to MIN will only be shown if the MIN
From the inactive Home state (HDG shown in cyan above the right knob):
• Press once to set the heading bug (HDG) (Refs. 50 and 51).
• Press twice to set target altitude (ALT) (Refs. 22 and 25).
• Press three times to set barometric pressure (BARO) (Ref. 37).
• Press four times to set approach minimums (MIN) (Ref. 27).

2.2.2.2. Bearing Pointer Nav Source Control
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The two outer buttons between the control knobs are the Bearing Pointer Nav Source
Select Buttons (see Figure 2-7). The left-hand button controls BRG1 (the single-line
bearing pointer) and the right-hand button controls BRG2 (the double-line bearing
pointer), and each controls which nav source is coupled to that bearing pointer.
The bearing pointers act like a conventional RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator): the needle
points to the station. Unlike a conventional RMI, EFD1000 bearing pointers can also
point to the active waypoint of a GPS navigator, whether that is a VOR, NDB, airport,
intersection, or missed approach point.
Each bearing pointer can be coupled to any of the available navigation sources: GPS1,
GPS2, VLOC1, or VLOC2 (depending on configuration), or to none. Each press of the
Bearing Pointer Nav Source Select Button selects the next available nav source, cycling
through all available nav sources and none, in round-robin sequence. The currently
coupled nav source is displayed directly above the Select Button; blank indicates that
no nav source is selected and the bearing pointer will not be displayed.
If the selected nav source is a valid choice, but no usable nav data is being received
(e.g., the VOR station is out of range), the bearing pointer will not be displayed, or the
VLOC is tuned to a localizer frequency.

2.2.3. Hot Keys
The MAP Hot Key displays the GPS flight plan, legs, waypoints, and base map on the
Navigation Display, with one of four levels of declutter, and turns off the map. Pressing
the MAP key cycles through these available options. When the MAP is turned off, or is
unavailable, the label is gray.
When the function a Hot Key controls is unavailable or invalid, the label displays with a
vertical red line, as shown in Figure 2-8.

2.2.4. Menu Key
The MENU Key is used to access the EFD1000 PFD’s Menu system to change options,
and also to change the EFD1000’s LCD brightness controls.
Menu Page 1, General Settings, is the one most commonly used in flight. It enables
the pilot to enable or disable AUTO COURSE SELECT mode, to display or hide the
V-speeds on the airspeed tape, and to choose the type of CDI display for ARC mode. The
other menu pages are used for V-speed and map customization, for abnormal power
management, and for displaying product version information.
The Menu system operates either in Navigation or Edit mode, as indicated by the label
directly above the Right Knob. When the MENU key is first pressed, the Menu system is

CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The EFD1000 Pro PFD replaces the existing Attitude Indicator and HSI or DG in the
center of the primary flight instrument cluster. Like the instruments it replaces, the top
half presents an Attitude Display and the bottom half presents a Navigation Display
(Figure 2-26). Between the two halves is a Data Bar, which presents a dedicated display
of real-time winds and temperatures, as well as True Airspeed (TAS) and GPS Ground
Speed (GS).
Attitude Display

Navigation Display
Unlike the mechanical indicators it typically replaces, EFD1000 PFD can also display all
the data provided by the remaining four instruments in the “six pack” (airspeed, altitude,
turn and slip, and vertical speed), as well as much more. Concentrating all primary flight
information onto a single instrument directly in front of the pilot improves instrument
scan and reduces pilot workload, thereby enhancing safety, especially in busy phases
of flight. Additionally, analog backup primary instruments remain in the pilot’s primary
field of view, and should be included in the instrument scan to cross-check indications
of both the primary (EFIS) and backup (analog) instruments.

2.3.1. Attitude Display
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The Attitude Display includes an Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) with single-cue Flight
Director command V-bars (when connected to a compatible autopilot), an Airspeed
tape, an Altimeter tape, an Altitude Alerter (with separate minimums alerting), and
Instrument Approach indicators (Table 2-6 and Figure 2-27). For more details on
each, see the Reference Guide, Chapter 4.
The Airspeed and Altitude tapes are the most obvious differences from a mechanical
ADI. These tapes are common on most EFIS PFDs, and will be immediately familiar to
pilots with EFIS experience. Pilots without prior EFIS experience may need some time,
experience, and training to get comfortable using the Airspeed and Altimeter tapes as
their primary references.

2.3.1.1. Attitude Director Indicator (ADI)
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) features a conventional blue (sky) over brown
(ground) background, with a white horizon line dividing the two areas. A triangular
Figure 2-28
aircraft reference symbol (Ref. 17) is in a fixed position, and shows aircraft attitude
Slip/Skid relative to the horizon.
The pitch scale (or ladder) indicates degrees of nose up (blue) or nose down (brown)
pitch relative to the apex of the aircraft symbol. Minor pitch marks are shown every
2.5º up to +/-20º of pitch, with major pitch marks every 10º up to +/-90º of pitch. The
distance between pitch marks is greater than on most mechanical attitude indicators,
making it easier for the pilot to fly more precise pitch attitudes.
Figure 2-29 At extreme pitch attitudes (above 30º nose up or below 25º nose down), red Unusual
Flight Director Attitude Recovery chevrons appear, pointing towards the horizon. At extreme pitch
attitudes, some sky (blue) or ground (brown) will always be displayed to help maintain
situational awareness, even though the horizon line may be off-scale.
At the top of the ADI are the roll scale, roll pointer, and slip/skid indicator (Figure 2‑28).
The roll scale is indicated by tick marks at 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º, and 60º on both sides of the
zero roll inverted solid white triangle. The 45º marks are represented as hollow triangles.
Slip/skid is indicated by the lateral position of the white rectangle under the roll pointer.
One rectangle width is equivalent to one ball width of a conventional inclinometer.
When connected to a compatible autopilot system the EFD1000 will display a single-
cue Flight Director (Figure 2-29). The Flight Director command bars visually represent
the lateral and vertical steering cues transmitted to the EFD by the autopilot. When the
FD output from the autopilot is unavailable or flagged invalid, the FD command bars
are removed from the display.

2.3.1.2. Airspeed Tape and Bug
Color speed bands are displayed on the indicated airspeed tape, corresponding to the
colored arcs found on a traditional airspeed instrument.
Color speed markers are displayed on the indicated airspeed tape, corresponding to
the colored radial lines found on traditional airspeed instruments. All aircraft have a red
line for aircraft never-exceed speed (Vne). Multi-engine aircraft will usually also have
a lower red line for single-engine minimum control speed (Vmc), and a blue line for
single-engine best rate of climb speed (Vyse). If the aircraft manufacturer has published
an initial flap extension speed, a white triangle will be presented on the airspeed tape at Figure 2-30
the speed corresponding to this limitation. Airspeed Tape
Textual V-speed markers can also be shown on the airspeed tape (e.g., Vx, Vy, Va, etc.).
These are typically programmed at installation, and (if left unlocked during installation)
may also be programmed by the pilot. V-speed display can be enabled or disabled by
the pilot from Page 1 of the Main Menu (see Chapter 5).
The pilot can set a target airspeed using the left-hand control knob (see
Section 4.1.2.1). The target airspeed is shown on the Airspeed Tape in the form of
an Airspeed Bug (Figure 2-2, No. 32), and will also be displayed numerically above
the Airspeed Tape (Figure 2-2, No. 31). The bug and numerical value are for visual
reference only, to help the pilot maintain a target airspeed; there is no alerting for
deviations from the target.

CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
The current altimeter barometric setting is shown just below the Altitude tape in the
Data Bar (Figure 2-2, No. 37), and can be adjusted using the Right Knob.
The Altitude Tape also includes a built-in altitude alerter, which consists of an
Altitude Bug on the Altitude Tape (Figure 2-2, No. 25), a Selected Altitude display
(Figure 2‑2, No. 22), a visual Altitude Alert (Figure 2-2, No. 23), and optionally, an
audio alert. For more information on using the Alerter see Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

2.3.1.4. Instrument Approach Indicators
A Lateral Deviation Indicator (LDI, (Figure 2-2, No. 35)) is presented on the attitude
indicator whenever the pilot has coupled an ILS, LOC, LOC(BC), or a GPS in Approach
Mode to the HSI, and valid lateral guidance is being provided. The navigation source
coupled to the LDI is annunciated to the left of the LDI (Figure 2-2, No. 29).
A Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI, (Figure 2-2, No. 34)) is presented on the attitude
indicator whenever the LDI is shown and valid vertical guidance is provided, such as
from an ILS or WAAS GPS.
Whenever the lateral or vertical deviation exceeds the maximum displayable range of
Figure 2-32
2.5 dots, the deviation diamond is rendered as a hollow, ghosted image pegged to the Instrument Approach Indications
corresponding side. As soon as the deviation comes into range, the diamond turns solid
green, making it easy to identify when the needle is alive.
Additionally, the pilot can pre-set the minimums (MIN) for the approach, which will be
displayed on the ADI (Figure 2-2, No. 28) until the pilot toggles off the display using
the MIN hot key. Once the MIN data field value is set to a Decision Altitude or Minimum
Descent Altitude, the EFD1000 PFD provides an alert when the aircraft reaches or
descends below this altitude. Figure 2-33
Decision Height Annunciation
If a Radar Altimeter is installed in the aircraft and connected to the EFD1000, a Decision
Height annunciation (Figure 2-2, No. 26) will be displayed when the aircraft descends
to or below the selected radar altitude (Figure 2-33).

2.3.3.1. Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
Pilots experienced with mechanical HSIs will find the 360º mode of the EFD1000
Navigation Display immediately familiar. In its basic form, it is just an electronic
representation of a mechanical HSI. Pilots transitioning from flying a DG and OBS should
get some dual instruction from a CFII on the differences in flying an HSI, because some
instrument flying techniques differ from what they may be used to. Figure 2-36
ARC CDI Mode with Base Map
Compass Modes: 360º vs. ARC
The HSI on the EFD1000 can be presented in either a full 360º compass rose mode
(shown in Figure 2-35), or in a 100º ARC format (Figure 2-36). In 360 Mode, the HSI
resembles the mechanical instrument, with the ownship position in the center of the
display. ARC Mode provides an extended forward view with the ownship position at the
bottom of the display. The ARC mode is especially good for map displays. The middle
Hot Key is used to toggle the display between 360 and ARC modes, with the current
mode shown in green adjacent to the Hot Key.

Navigation Setting Information
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
Regardless of compass mode setting, the current magnetic heading is always shown
at the top center of the Navigation Display (Figure 2-2, No. 48 and Figure 2-37). The
current setting of the HDG Bug is shown in the Selected Heading Field (Figure 2-2,
Figure 2-37 No. 50), which is to the right of the ship’s Magnetic Heading (Figure 2-2, No. 48). This
Magnetic Heading
field is always visible even if the HDG Bug itself is not visible in ARC mode. Similarly, the
current Course setting (CRS) (Figure 2-2, No. 49) is always shown to the left of the
ship’s heading, whether or not the Course Pointer itself is visible in ARC mode.
A Navigation Source Information Block (Figure 2-2, No. 63 and Figure 2-38) is
presented in the upper left corner of the HSI display area. The Source Information Block
Figure 2-38 indicates the navigation source coupled to the CDI and its associated mode (e.g. VOR,
Navigation Source Information Block ILS, LOC, etc). Information is provided related to the coupled source, including, when
available, waypoint or navaid identifier or frequency, bearing and distance, and the
estimated time to the active waypoint.
Within the ARC mode, the pilot may select (via the Main Menu) between two different
formats of CDI presentation – ARC HSI mode and ARC CDI mode. The ARC HSI mode,
presents a full rotating Course Pointer with CDI, which resembles that used in the
HSI 360 Compass mode. The ARC CDI mode presents a short Course Pointer stub on
Page 2-30 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )

Auto Course Select is indicated by an “A” on a green background, adjacent to both the
numerical CRS value and the “CRS” knob legend (Figures 2-41 and 2-42).
If the GPS navigator enters OBS, HOLD, or SUSPEND modes, Auto Course Select is
automatically disabled on the EFD1000 until the GPS resumes waypoint sequencing. Figure 2-41

Ground Track Indicator
CHAPTER 2, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
When the blue track diamond is aligned with the Course Pointer, the aircraft is tracking
on or parallel to its desired track. To align the track diamond with the Course Pointer,
turn away from the direction in which the diamond is offset from the Course Pointer
(think of it as “pulling” the track diamond toward the Course Pointer).
The rate of turn indicator features an outer thick white tick mark for a Standard Rate
turn, and an inner thin white tick mark for Half-Standard Rate turns. A Standard Rate,
two-minute turn equals 3 degrees per second. When the rate of turn exceeds 6 degrees
per second, an arrowhead is added to the end of the tape to show that the rate of turn
has exceeded the limits of the indicator (Figure 2-44).

2.3.3.3. Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
A numerical indication of current aircraft vertical speed is shown directly above the tape
(Figure 2-2, No. 54). Rates of up to ±2000 feet per minute (FPM) are indicated by the
tape, while the numerical value will display rates of up to ±9990 FPM. A triangle caps
the tape whenever rates exceed ±2000 FPM (Figure 2-46). The vertical speed data field
will be “dashed” whenever the vertical speed is 10,000 FPM or greater. Figure 2-45
VSI Tape Showing
In the ARC compass mode, only the digital vertical speed value is presented. 300 FPM Descent
The head of the needle always points to the station or waypoint. When coupled to
a VOR source, the tail of the needle indicates the VOR radial on which the aircraft is
currently located. Bearing pointers are excellent tools for identifying crossing radials,
flying DME arcs, and for general situational awareness.
Bearing Pointers are only available in the 360 Compass mode. Any available navigation
source may be coupled to either bearing pointer. If coupled to a source that does not
provide angular bearing data, such as a localizer, the bearing pointer is not presented
and the source is flagged as invalid. Figure 2-47

displayed includes distance to station (if coupled to a GPS waypoint) and either the
station identifier or the tuned frequency for a VLOC radio. This information is only
presented when it is reported to the EFD1000 by the connected equipment, and thus is
not available in all installations.
Some GPS navigators (typically those using the ARINC 429 data protocol, such as the
Garmin 400/500 series) additionally put out information on nearby nav data waypoints
(e.g., airports, VORs, NDBs and intersections), which can also be displayed on the
EFD1000 base map. These GPS can often also display curved flight paths, such as course
reversals and holding patterns.
The base map is always oriented with magnetic heading up and centered so that the
current aircraft position coincides with the aircraft ownship symbol. These base map
elements underlay all other instruments and annunciations in the Navigation Display.
The MAP hot key is used to cycle through four levels of map features display and to
Page 2-34 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )

The map display range is controlled by the Range Control toggle button
(Figure 2‑2, Ref. 2), enabling the pilot to zoom in or out on the map. Automatic
declutter logic changes the map features display depending on the selected map
range.
The current map settings (range and feature level) are shown in the lower left-hand
corner of the navigation display whenever the map is not OFF (Figure 2-48). The
current map range is displayed in nautical miles, measuring the distance from the
ownship symbol to the edge of the map display. The current map feature level is
indicated by one to four green trapezoids underneath the range value (one mark is
flight plan-only, while four marks is the highest map feature level).

Flying the EFD1000 Pro PFD
The EFD1000 Pro PFD is a powerful Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), offering
the same capabilities and features found on larger glass cockpit systems in airliners,
business jets, and newer general aviation aircraft. It is capable of far more than the
analog instruments it typically replaces. It will take some time and experience to master
all of its advanced capabilities, especially if this is your first exposure to flying EFIS and
glass cockpits. Nonetheless, in its most basic configuration, the EFD1000 PFD will look
immediately familiar to anyone used to flying mechanical instruments, and its basic
operation is very similar and intuitive .
Before flying your new EFD1000 installation on an actual IFR flight, be sure first to spend
some time with your installer to understand exactly how your aircraft is configured,
and also to get some dual instruction and practice time in VFR conditions until you are
comfortable with how the EFD1000 performs and integrates with the other avionics in
your airplane.

Navigation Source Buttons (see 2.2.2 for detail)
• Three buttons at the bottom of the display couple the available navigation
sources to the CDI and/or the bearing pointers.
CHAPTER 3, FLYING THE EFD1000 PRO PFD
• The center button (Figure 2-2, Ref. 11) selects the nav source to couple to
the CDI and to drive the autopilot (if installed).
• The outer two buttons (Figure 2-2, Refs. 10 and 12) select which nav source
couples to each of the two bearing pointers (or none to hide the bearing
pointers).
Hot Keys (see 2.2.3 for details)
• The five buttons on the lower right-hand side of the display are Hot Keys,
the function of which is shown by the legend on the screen immediately
adjacent to each button.
• The current status of each Hot Key is shown by the legend, in GREEN if active
and in GRAY if inactive.
• Each press of a Hot Key will either toggle its function on or off, or will cycle
among available settings.

default settings.
When power is applied to the EFD1000, the bezel backlighting illuminates and the
EFD1000 PFD splash screen displays while the EFD1000 PFD intializes (Figure 3‑2).
As the software initializes and the PFD warms up, the Attitude and Navigation Displays Figure 3-2
EFD1000 PFD Initializing
will appear first (typically within 20-30 seconds), with red X’s showing for the airspeed
and altitude tapes (Figure 3-3). In a short while (from a few more seconds to a few
minutes, depending on how cold the aircraft is), the air data sensors will warm up to
operating temperature and the airspeed and altitude tapes will appear. At that point,
the EFD1000 is ready to go. The PFD will usually be ready by the time engines are
started or the After Start checklist is complete.

five) for the PFD to be fully operational. On the second or third flight
of the day, and/or on very hot days, the PFD may come up within 30
seconds or less.
After engine start, turn the Avionics Master ON. Until the navigation radios are
operational, the nav source annunciations on the EFD1000 will be shown with a red

Heading Field Enabled We call Clearance Delivery to pick up our IFR clearance. It is:
“Bonanza N66529 is cleared to the Reno/Tahoe Airport via the LARGO2 departure,
Zuni (ZUN) transition, then as filed. Maintain 7,000, expect 10,000 in five minutes.
Departure frequency is 127.4. Squawk 1234.”
Now we set up our avionics for an instrument departure. We set our transponder code
and comm radio frequencies. Then we enter our flight plan into GPS1, load the LARGO2
departure, crossfill into GPS2, and activate the flight plan.
The LARGO2 departure calls for vectors to our route. From past experience, we expect
to be vectored past ABQ VOR, and then given a vector to join the departure on the
ABQ-to-ZUN leg (a 255º course). While we’ll be navigating on GPS, for situational
awareness we tune those first two VOR fixes into our nav radios. We tune ABQ VOR
(113.2) into VLOC1 and ZUN VOR (113.4) into VLOC2.

On the EFD1000, use the CDI Source Select button to select GPS1. Because we have
enabled Auto Course Select, the Course Pointer automatically slews to 261º (the initial
course from the airport to the first fix on the LARGO2 departure, ABQ VOR).

Next, we set our assigned initial altitude of 7,000 feet into the Altitude Alerter. We press
the Right Control Knob twice, changing the legend above the knob to ALT in magenta.
Then we turn the right knob to set 7,000 into the Selected Altitude Field. This will help

aircraft will reach the target altitude (based on current rate of climb or
descent). The yellow flag will go black upon attaining the target altitude.
Subsequently, if the aircraft deviates more than 200 feet above or below

Our normal climb speed is 120 KIAS, so we choose to set the airspeed bug as a
reminder. To do so, we press the Left Control Knob twice, until it shows IAS in magenta
above the knob. We turn the knob until 120 shows in the Selected Airspeed Field.

We plan to hand-fly the plane until reaching our final en route altitude of 10,000
feet. But we like the help the Flight Director gives us (Figure 3-24). So, as part of our
Before Takeoff set-up, we press the FD button on the autopilot mode selector, and the

magenta V-bars display on the EFD1000. As an easy way to give us guidance on the
takeoff, we press the Go Around button. This commands wings level and about a 10º
Figure 3-24 pitch-up attitude, which works well for our initial climb.
Flight Director V-bars
Now our avionics are all set, so we taxi out to the runway, do our run-up, and call tower,
ready for departure. As we taxi into position and hold on Runway 8, we verify that our
EFD1000 compass shows 080º, lined up with our pre-set heading bug. As tower clears
us for takeoff, it tells us to wait until reaching the end of the runway, and then to turn
left to heading 250º. We press the Right Control Knob once to activate HDG, and turn
the knob left to set the Heading Bug to 250.
3.2.2. Departure
As we start the takeoff roll, we note the airspeed on the EFD1000 comes alive at 20
KIAS. All indications are normal, so we continue the takeoff, rotate at 80 KIAS and fly the
Flight Director command bars at 10º pitch up with wings level. As we run out of usable
runway to land, we bring the gear up, and soon we’re over the end of the 13,800 foot
runway.
We engage HDG mode on the autopilot mode selector, and the FD commands a left
turn to our assigned 250º heading, which we already set with the Heading Bug. We
adjust our pitch attitude to maintain our target 120 KIAS climb speed as shown by the
bug on our airspeed tape, and sync the FD pitch to that attitude.
Figure 3-25
Altitude Alerter Flag Illuminated
Page 3-14 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )
Soon we hear a one-second tone and see the yellow flag come on next to our Selected
Altitude at the top of the EFD1000 airspeed tape (Figure 3-25). This means we are
15 seconds away from reaching our assigned altitude. We begin to shallow our climb,
Around this time, on our 250º vector, we pass abeam ABQ VOR, which causes the GPS
to sequence to the next flight plan leg to ZUN VOR. The Course Pointer on the EFD1000
automatically swings left to the new course, 255º, and that leg on our base map turns
magenta.
Albuquerque Departure now tells us to fly heading 220º to join the LARGO2 departure,
and climb and maintain 10,000.
1. Press the Right Knob once to activate HDG, and turn it left to set the Heading
Bug to 220º.
2. Press the Right Knob again to activate ALT, and turn it right to set 10,000 in
the Selected Altitude field at the top of the airspeed tape.
Auto Course Select has already set our Course Pointer to the 255º course from ABQ to
ZUN on the LARGO2 departure, and a 220º heading sets us up for a nice intercept. We
disengage ALT hold on the Flight Director, set our cruise climb attitude, sync the V-bars
to that pitch, and initiate the climb from 7,000 to 10,000 feet, maintaining our target
airspeed of 120 KIAS by reference to the Airspeed Bug (Figure 3-26).
At about 9,700 feet, the Altitude Alerter tone sounds, and the yellow alert flag by the Figure 3-26
Selected Altitude illuminates, telling us we are 15 seconds from reaching our assigned CDI Shown Hollow at Full-Scale Deflection
10,000 feet. We begin our level-off, and upon reaching 10,000 feet, engage ALT hold on
the FD mode selector.
Departure calls again to hand us off to Albuquerque Center on 133.0. As we’re tuning
the radio, we hear an alert tone. A glance at the EFD1000 shows the Altitude Alerter

flag flashing, our altitude at 10,200 and climbing, and our Flight Director V-bars
commanding pitch down. We quickly stop the climb, correct back down to our
assigned altitude of 10,000 and engage the autopilot before calling to check in with
CHAPTER 3, FLYING THE EFD1000 PRO PFD
Center.
3.2.3. En Route
Albuquerque Center gives us a new altimeter setting of 30.11. We set 30.11 on the
standby mechanical altimeter, and then on the EFD1000.
• Press the Right Knob three times to select BARO, shown in magenta above
the knob, and turn the knob left four clicks to set 30.11 on the meter.
Figure 3-27
CDI Alive and Shown Solid Soon, the CDI comes alive and attracts our attention as it changes from hollowed out
to solid and begins to move in towards the Course Pointer as we intercept our course.
We enable GPS Steering to complete the intercept and steer us along the airways all the
way to Reno (Figure 3-27).
1. Confirm the AP/FD mode selector is still in HDG mode.
2. Press the GPSS Hot Key, and verify its legend turns from gray to GREEN
(Figure 3‑28).
3. Verify that the Flight Director is giving proper steering cues to intercept and
track the course.
With GPS Steering (GPSS), a compatible GPS navigator (in this case, a Garmin 430W)
drives the autopilot directly, telling it how to bank to stay centered on course. GPSS
Figure 3-28 drives the autopilot far more accurately than the AP NAV mode, because the GPS always
GPSS Enabled (legend in Green) knows the ground track and how to adjust to maintain that track, implicitly accounting
for changing wind conditions. The GPS also includes turn anticipation, enabling it to
roll out centered on the new course without overshooting. As we’ll soon see when
flying an instrument approach, GPSS with a WAAS GPS can even fly procedure turns and
holding patterns hands-off.

Now that we’re established at our final cruise altitude and in the en route phase of our
flight, we’ll switch to the ARC mode of the HSI, to maximize a forward view. Each HSI view (360 and ARC) retains
NOTE its own Range and Map Feature Level

We load the KRNO ILS16R approach into the GPS, selecting TAKLE as our IAF. The ILS
frequency (110.9) is placed in the standby window of the 430W. Briefing the approach,
we note our Decision Altitude (DA) is 5,515 feet. We set our approach MINIMUMS on

the EFD1000 to 5,520 feet (MIN are set in increments of 10 feet, so we round up). And
we set our Selected Airspeed for the approach at 105 KIAS.
1. Press the MIN Hot Key (Figure 3-32). The MIN display appears on the lower
right-hand corner of the ADI in magenta (Figure 3-33), ready for setting, and
the MIN legend adjacent to the Hot Key changes from gray to magenta.
2. Turn the Right Knob to set 5,520 on the MIN display.
3. Press the Left knob twice to select IAS for editing.
4. Turn the Left knob to set 105 knots as our target airspeed.
We’re all set up for the approach. Nearing Mustang (FMG), Oakland Center hands us off
Figure 3-32 to Reno Approach, and we request own nav for the ILS16R. Approach gives us the new
MIN Hot Key (shown disabled) altimeter setting of 30.08, clears us down to 9,000 feet, and after FMG direct TAKLE. We
initiate the descent, set 30.08 in the standby altimeter, and set the EFD1000:
1. Press the Right knob twice to select ALT for editing.
2. Turn the Right knob left to set 9,000 as our Selected Altitude.
3. Press the Right knob once more to select BARO for editing
4. Turn the Right knob left to set 30.08 as our baro setting.
Fifteen seconds before reaching 9,000 feet, the Altitude Alerter flag illuminates and the
alert tone sounds. We begin our level-off, and re-engage ALT hold on the autopilot
upon reaching 9,000 feet. We leave the autopilot in HDG mode, and continue with
GPSS enabled on the EFD1000.
Crossing FMG, the GPS sequences to TAKLE, our Course Pointer swings automatically
from 302º to 316º, and GPSS continues to steer us on course. We power back to slow
down. Reno Approach calls, reports us six miles from TAKLE and clears us for the ILS16R
Figure 3-33
MIN Display Selected for Editing approach, pilot nav.
Page 3-18 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )
We activate the approach on the GPS, and move the ILS frequency into the active
window.
As GPSS completes the procedure turn and rolls out centered on our final approach
course of 164º, we change to APPR mode on the autopilot and begin a descent down
to 8,500 feet.
1. Press the Right knob twice to select ALT for editing.
2. Turn the Right knob to set 8,500 as our Selected Altitude.
3. On reaching 8,500, re-engage ALT hold on the autopilot.
Along this intermediate segment of the approach, watch for the 430W to switch
automatically from GPS to VLOC output on its CDI. Figure 3-34
ARC Mode Showing Procedure Turn, GPSS Enabled
• Watch for the EFD1000 CDI Source Select field to change from GPS1 to
VLOC1.
This automatic switch from GPS to VLOC should occur 2–10 NM outside the Final
Approach Fix. If it has not occurred automatically by 2 NM outside the FAF, manually
press the CDI button on the 430W to make the switch to the ILS frequency.
As navigation switches to the ILS, the LDI and VDI (Figure 2-2, Refs. 34 and 35) will
appear on the Attitude Display.
1. The LDI Navigation Source Indication (Figure 2-2, Ref. 29) will show ILS if it is
receiving a valid glide slope signal, or LOC if it is not receiving the glide slope
(GS).
2. The CDI Source Information Block (Figure 2-2, Ref. 63) will also show ILS or
LOC.
A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( ) EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide Page 3-19
When the GS is full-scale deflection above us, the GS indicator on the VDI will show
as a hollow diamond at the top of the scale (Figure 3-35). When the GS comes alive,
the indicator will change to a solid green diamond and begin to move down the scale.
CHAPTER 3, FLYING THE EFD1000 PRO PFD
Just before intercepting the GS, drop the gear, and check for three green lights. On GS
intercept, verify that the autopilot switches to GS capture and begins to track down the
glide slope.

VDI Showing Glide Slope Full
Continue to monitor the approach, and verify that the autopilot is tracking both
Deflection High (Hollow Indicator) localizer and glide slope. The weather is well above minimums and we intend to land
out of the approach, but will let the autopilot fly it down to minimums. On reaching
our pre-set minimums (5,520 feet),
• The MINIMUMS alert displays below the Aircraft Reference Symbol on the ADI
(Figure 3-36).
• The alert tone sounds three times.
We disconnect the autopilot and hand-fly the plane to landing, continuing to fly the
Flight Director and track the glide slope down to a smooth landing.

4.1.1.5. Air Data and Attitude/Heading Reference System (ADAHRS)
The Aspen ADAHRS uses Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to
provide attitude reference. The technology is different from legacy gyro systems and
an understanding of the capability and limitations can be helpful to the operator.
CHAPTER 4, REFERENCE GUIDE
Generally, MEMS attitude solutions use multiple inputs to derive and validate the
attitude solution. The Aspen System uses more than a dozen inputs to determine and
monitor the aircraft attitude. In this way the system can validate the derived attitude
indication by cross-checking the various inputs to the solution for consistency with
one another.
The Aspen ADAHRS solution uses inputs from its internal three-axis accelerometers,
rate gyros and magnetometers, supplemented by pitot and static pressure inputs
from the aircraft pitot-static system. Failures or incorrect input from any one of these
sensors, such as might occur if the pitot tube or static system became blocked,
will affect the attitude solution. These conditions are sensed by the system and a
“Cross Check Attitude” annunciation is presented (Figure 4-5). It is possible for the
attitude performance to be affected before the “Cross Check Attitude” annunciation,
especially when there are accelerations imposed, such as during steep turns or abrupt
pitch changes. An ADAHRS attitude discrepancy is generally obvious to the pilot,
either by an anomalous behavior cross-checked against the stand by attitude, or by
annunciation.
Page 4-4 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’s Guide A-01-184-00 REV C / 091-00005-001 REV ( )
with airspeed or altitude that are consistent with an obstructed pitot or static line, the
pilot should recognize that the attitude indication will soon be compromised. If in IMC,
immediately use the backup indicator to fly the airplane. If at any time there is even a
momentary “Cross Check Attitude” warning, use the backup attitude indicator until the
In summary, loss or degradation of the attitude solution is unlikely. If the pitot or static
system becomes blocked, an ADAHRS internal sensor fails, or the “Cross Check Attitude”
indication is presented for even a moment, the attitude indication on the PFD should
be considered to be compromised. In this circumstance the pilot must use the backup
attitude indicator for attitude reference until the cause of the problem is resolved.

Unlike the CDI which can be adjusted by the pilot, no adjustments can be made to the
bearing pointers. When a VOR is selected as a bearing pointer source, the arrow of the
needle indicates the direction to the VOR navaid to which the receiver is tuned. The
position of the bearing pointer tail, with respect to the compass, indicates the aircraft’s
current position on the VOR radial. When a GPS source is selected, the bearing pointer
indicates the bearing to the active waypoint.
When the bearing pointer source data is not available or invalid, the bearing pointer

NOTE Refer to the autopilot AFMS for
The EFD1000 can connect with many different legacy autopilot systems that are
typically found in general aviation aircraft. The EFD1000 emulates the HSI and/or information on the operation of the
Flight Director (FD) indicator with which the autopilot was originally certified. autopilot or flight director.
When connected to an autopilot system that includes Nav or Approach couplers, the
EFD also acts as the navigation source selector switch to the autopilot. This assures
that the navigation information presented on the EFD1000 is the same as that being
provided to the autopilot. This arrangement also eliminates the need for external
autopilot navigation source selector switches and relays that were previously used
to select which navigation radio would be connected to the autopilot. Selection of
autopilot modes and mode control is unaffected by installation of the EFD1000 system.
The EFD1000 does not currently provide vertical coupling to barometric references such
as altitude hold, vertical speed, or altitude capture.
See the upcoming Section 4.6.3 Typical Autopilot Operation for additional details
on EFD1000 operation with the autopilot systems during typical aircraft operations,
such as VOR/ILS/GPS approaches.

that system.
With traditional point-to-point navigation, the autopilot is provided with desired course
and cross-tack deviation information associated with the current flight leg. From there,
it will maneuver the aircraft to center the needle and track the desired course. The
autopilot does not anticipate upcoming course changes, nor can it fly curved flight
paths without pilot assistance, and it has to recompute wind corrections following each
course change. Upon reaching a waypoint, the pilot must set the course for the next
leg (unless Auto Course Select is enabled, see Section 4.3.6), and the autopilot will
then intercept and track that leg. In this type of operation, the CDI must always be set
to the current desired navigation course.
When GPSS is selected on the With GPS Steering, the EFD1000 can unlock the GPS Steering capability already available

point required to roll out centered on the next leg, with the deviation needle centered.
Some GPS systems, such as the Garmin 4xx/5xxW series of WAAS navigators, even
provide GPS Steering commands for complex procedures, such as DME arcs, holding
patterns, procedure turns, etc., allowing the autopilot to fly these maneuvers without
pilot input. Check with your GPS manufacturer to see if your GPS supports these
capabilities.
The EFD1000 translates GPS Steering commands received over an ARINC 429 bus into a
signal that is compatible with the autopilot Heading channel. Thus, by selecting GPSS

6.2. Pitot/Static System Blockage
A static line blockage will result in altitude remaining fixed and a zero vertical speed
despite aircraft pitch and/or power setting changes. In addition, IAS indications will
be incorrect if the static line is blocked. Errors will typically be noticed in the climb or
descent phase of flight. When descending, ambient pressure increases, which will result
in the indicated airspeed reading less than the actual airspeed. The opposite effect will
be observed in a climb.
Most light aircraft have only a single pitot and static port
CAUTION available for flight instrument use. As such, the pitot and static
lines used by the EFD1000 system are shared with those lines used
by the standby airspeed indicator and altimeter. Should these
lines become blocked, such as might occur due to inadvertent
icing encounter, both the standby indicators and the EFD1000
indicators will display erroneous airspeed and/or altitude
information.
